Hurricane Sandy's effects on the upcoming election.

Ya know what, I don't really follow politics, but I've been following everything that Sandy's been doing, as I was in her path, and I'm hearing a lot about rallies being canceled, the storm's threat to the white house, power outage concerns for voting booths. I've also seen some clips of Obama and Romney talking about the aftermath. I'm sure the cost of clean-up will have a major affect, too, on everything!
Many of you know a lot more about politics than I do, so what do you think the short-term and long-term effects on the election will be from Hurricane Sandy and what do you think about how each candidate is reacting to the situation?

I said, "Hi, Greg. I'm the creepy girl." He chuckled, then wanted a handshake and I gave it. I wanted a hug and he gave it. One of his sons was there, too. Cute. Then Pete got him to autograph my sign for me because I was too polite to ask myself since he was on his way to eat. Pete also took this of photo of him holding it. - 8/2/2014.https://twitter.com/PeteParada/statu...56317329436672

The Caribbean was pretty hard-hit by Sandy, as well, but I'm not seeing anything on the Weather Channel about it anymore. So, you just may be right about that.

well I think the political campaigns will take advantage of these disaster and focus on rebuilding. Obama and Romney are heartless scum, they don't care about the people who got hit by Sandy, they just care about getting elected to office. Mark my words, Romney and Obama are going to hit the campaign trail hard in the Sandy states.

Monster Sandy really did damaged to the new yorkers folks. I really feel awful for not donating not helping out. Will another huricane going to hit California or an earth quack or will there be a world war 3? What will Barack Obama do or say to stop this madness cruelty of mass destruction? I don't know but I think will still be alive when 2013 hits!!

Um since when can the president predict the weather and prevent weather from happening? Last I learned you can't.

No, but they sure can take advantage of it. I agree, most politicians, including that idiot Obama, took advantage in order to "look" presidential by sending aid and making appearances. Sandy definitely helped Obama get the big mo during the election. It also deflected the collassal fuck up that is Benghazi from dominating the news and hurting Obama.
